DICOMSCOPE(1)							    OFFIS DCMTK 						     DICOMSCOPE(1)

NAME

       dicomscope - DICOM Viewer

SYNOPSIS

       dicomscope DICOMFile.dcm

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the dicomscope command.

       DICOMscope  is  a  free DICOM viewer which can display uncompressed, monochrome DICOM images from all modalities and which supports monitor
       calibration according to DICOM part 14 as well as presentation states. DICOMscope offers a print client (DICOM Basic Grayscale  Print  Man-
       agement)  which also implements the optional Presentation LUT SOP Class. The development of this prototype was commissioned by the "Commit-
       tee for the Advancement of DICOM" and demonstrated at the European Congress of Radiology ECR 1999. An enhanced version  was  developed  for
       the  "DICOM  Display  Consistency Demonstration" at RSNA InfoRAD 1999. The current release 3.5.1 has been demonstrated at ECR 2001 and con-
       tains numerous extensions, including a print server, support for encrypted DICOM communication, digital signatures and  structured  report-
       ing.

       DICOMscope is not meant as a competition for commercial DICOM viewers. The application is rather a feasibility study for DICOM presentation
       states. The program is not appropriate to be used in a clinical environment, e.g. for reporting.

DCTOPGX(1)						DICOM PS3 - DICOM image to PGX file						DCTOPGX(1)

NAME

       dctopgx - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - DICOM image to PGX file

SYNOPSIS

       dctopgx [ -v|verbose ] [ -quiet|silent ]

DESCRIPTION

       dctopgx	reads the named dicom or acr-nema input file and copies the raw image pixel data to a PGX file as used for the JPEG 2000 Verifica-
       tion Model.

       A PGX file contains of a single text header line of the form "PG <byte order> [+|-]<bit-depth> <cols> <rows> immediately by the raw  binary
       data.  There  may  be 1, 2 or 4 bytes per sample corresponding to bit depths from 1 to 32.  Byte order is "LM" (little endian) or "ML" (big
       endian). The signed or unsigned pixel representation is indicated by '+' or '-' character before the bit depth.	If  the  '+'  is  omitted,
       unsigned is implied.

       The input file must be unencapsulated.

       PGX  supports  big or little endian byte order in the case of > 8 bit data. The output byte order is always in the same as the input, since
       the raw bytes are copied from input to output without any conversion. Use dccp(1) first to change the encoding if necessary.

       PGX also supports signed data, so the Pixel Representation of the input is used to specify whether the output is signed or unsigned.

OPTIONS

       The PGX output goes where it is specified or standard out.  The verbose output goes to standard error.

       The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:

       -quiet|silent
	      Suppress the normal description of image parameters.

       -verbose
	      Display byte offset from file start and message start, in hexadecimal, and dump contents while reading, once read,  during  replace-
	      ment, and before writing.
